Abstract
We derive general formulae for computing the average spectrum for Bosonic or Fermionic massless emission from generic or particular sets of closed superstring quantum states, among the many occurring at a given large value of the number operator. In particular we look for states that can produce a Bosonic spectrum resembling the classical spectrum expected for peculiar cusp-like or kink-like classical configurations, and we perform a statistical counting of their average number. The results can be relevant in the framework of possible observations of the radiation emitted by cosmic strings.
